Grab bars and handrails for Lakewood homes
We do grab bar and handrail installation in Lakewood, placing each rail where it supports the person who uses it in a bathroom, stair or hallway. The product and the wall behind it decide how we mount it.

Install grab bars and handrails at the chosen location
A grab bar or handrail needs a suitable attachment point behind the finished wall. Hardware instructions, wall construction, and placement matter; medical and accessibility decisions belong with the person and care team choosing the location.
Solis installs the requested grab bar or handrail to its hardware instructions, using known framing or backing at the chosen point. When support requires opening the wall, Solis repairs the drywall and carries it through finish work so the surrounding surface is put back.

Walls in Lakewood homes
When Lakewood's homes were built shapes what is behind the wall and which rules apply to the work.
- 3% Before 1940
- 20% 1940–1959
- 37% 1960–1979
- 25% 1980–1999
- 17% 2000 or later
- 1975Median year Lakewood homes were built
Half of Lakewood's homes were built before 1975 and half after. Most walls here are drywall over wood studs; a photo of the wall and what will hang on it is enough to plan the mounting. U.S. Census Bureau, ACS 2020–2024, median year structure built
Choose a location around the movement
A grab bar by the toilet, a rail beside a step and a stair handrail support different movements. We talk through how the person approaches, turns, sits or steps, then mark where the rail meets that path. Door swings and fixtures can shift it.
Identify the rail and the surface beneath it
Rails vary in length, shape and finish, and each maker's instructions matter. Drywall alone can't hold a rail, so we fasten into what's behind it. If the wall has to be opened or repaired, that goes on the quote with the finish to restore it.
Keep accessibility and construction decisions aligned
The person using the rail, and any occupational therapist or accessibility advisor, should help choose its position. Our installation doesn't stand in for a code review or the product instructions.
What we need to quote a rail
Tell us the movement the rail will help with, the product you've chosen and the wall. We'll price the install and any drywall repair or paint around it.
Grab Bar and Handrail Installation questions in Lakewood
Can a handrail be placed wherever it is convenient?
It should go where the movement needs it and the product's instructions allow, which may not be the easiest spot to mount.
Does rail installation include drywall repair or paint?
It can. We list those on the quote with the rail and its location.
